Would be good if you actually knew what irony was... or even a localised
convergence line... then you might at least know something about meteorology
and how it is properly observed.
Those who know "do" and those who dont 'troll" to cause mischief and disquiet.

Boring minds cannot keep useless crap (like yours) to themselves, rhey have
to say something to try to hide their ignorance.

This is a weather discussion group, why are you here if you cannot understand
it or are not interested in learning about it from a career Meteorologist?

Must be really dull and boring in your brain.

Hope you continue to have a nice uneventful life.


Your post would be creditable, were any of it actually true.

I have looked at the rainfall radar and its 24 hour accumulation figures for
yesterday and they give 0.25mm for much of Dartmoor. The only area with
2.5-3.5mm is to the west of Dartmoor in the area around Princetown which also
shows up well on this morning’s visual satellite images. However, Haytor is
at the extreme east of the high ground and well away from that area.

If there were localised convergence areas, they don’t show up on yesterdays
high definition radar images, nor are the results visible from space this
morning.


I don't know why you would wish to doubt someone's reports. There have been plenty of exaggerated posts on here over the years, particularly for snow depths when some people seemed to have been confused between inches and centimetres, but I have found that most people have been totally honest about their reports.
Weather can vary hugely over very small distances. My nearest reporting weather station is approximately 5 miles away as the crow flies, and generally the comparisons are very similar, but not always.
There are significant differences between what happens on the hill here and at the bottom a mere 50m below, in terms of snow cover and temperature.
What are you trying to prove with your comments?
